Circoloco India's debut concert in Mumbai, scheduled for April 19 at Jio World Garden, was cancelled hours before it was set to begin due to missing police permissions and law and order concerns. This decision followed a recent drug overdose incident at the 9X9 music concert in Goregaon, where two students died from suspected MDMA use. Authorities cited tightened scrutiny on live events, delayed permission requests, and safety conditions as reasons for denying approval, leading to refunds for ticket holders.
